Chapter 2384: Dragon Madness Clues

Because of the need to catch up on progress, the fourth semester arrived quickly. Starting from this semester, time was no longer arranged according to the School's schedule, but was instead arranged in real-time based on the specific progress of each class.

This is also something every university student will experience; Mythallar Design Class 4, where Xia Duo is, can already be considered to have experienced it relatively late.

The goal of the fourth semester is "Principles of Traditional Mythallar Design." If the Basic Equation Mythallar is the sprout of the modern Mythallar, then the traditional Mythallar is the nutrient pool for the modern Mythallar.

The modern Mythallar can only grow and strengthen to this day by constantly drawing nutrients from the traditional Mythallar; students of the Maze Lock Design Major cannot afford not to study the traditional Mythallar.

In fact, throughout the entire professional study stage, the learning of modern Mythallar and traditional Mythallar is carried out in an interlaced manner. On one hand, it helps students establish a complete concept of the modern Mythallar, and on the other hand, it constantly encourages students to draw nutrition from the traditional Mythallar.

Even today, there are still a large number of traditional Mythallars that have not been thoroughly analyzed.

……

In class this day, Xia Duo unexpectedly received a piece of news from Tutor Tuto—before entering the Projection Plane, the Dragon Madness Mythallar Control Center that he had been thinking about had already been discovered!

The specific location is still unclear, because that place is currently in the hands of the Evereska Alliance, and this is also the greatest confidence the Evereska Alliance has in the face of the constantly developing and growing Red Heart Alliance.

In fact, after Xia Duo projected over again to familiarize himself with some basic situations of the Red Heart Alliance, he had always had a question: now that the Red Heart Alliance is so powerful, why can it not unify the Main Plane, and it has not even been able to unify the Northland.

Now this question has an answer; the reason lies in the fact that the Evereska Alliance has already occupied the Dragon Madness Mythallar Control Center.

Although Tutor Tuto did not elaborate, he also mentioned that it might have been that when the Chixin Tribe was searching for the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll, they were spied upon by the nations of the Evereska Alliance. With the foundation of that group of High Elves, it was entirely possible for them to find it first before the Chixin Tribe found the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll.

In this regard, the nations of the Evereska Alliance are probably the ones who understand the Dragon Madness Mythallar best in the world today, and it is precisely because of this that the Red Heart Alliance is tied up and does not dare to speak lightly of liberation.

Understanding the Dragon Madness Mythallar and occupying the Control Center, not to mention being able to completely control the Mythallar, at least the ability to make the Mythallar collapse in advance is still there, which is equivalent to a super weapon of mass destruction.

Even if the strength of the Red Heart Alliance is stronger than that of the Evereska Alliance, it still needs to consider the consequences of that kind of world-shattering destruction.

But with the continuous development and growth of the Red Heart Alliance, there will eventually be two results. One is being able to properly resolve the Dragon Madness Mythallar crisis, and subsequently directly resolving the nations of the Evereska Alliance; this is the best result.

The other is that the nations of the Evereska Alliance, under this huge pressure, take advantage of the fact that the weapon of mass destruction in their hands can still function to launch a war of destruction in advance; this is effectively mutual destruction.

……

Upon learning such news, Xia Duo could not help but feel some regret, but also some relief. What he regretted was that the current excellent situation of the Red Heart Alliance was very likely to be destroyed in one fell swoop because of the "regret" of his previous projection.

What he was relieved about was that the Main Plane had fortunately not encountered such an extremely bad situation. As long as he found the Dragon Madness Mythallar Control Center before the various Elf nations, he could eliminate the crisis to the greatest extent.

So, where exactly is the Control Center?

Xia Duo felt that the high-level officials of the Red Heart Alliance might know, but they did not make it public because they were worried about causing too much psychological pressure on the Evereska Alliance; otherwise, there would definitely be many hot-blooded people going over to try to remove the danger.

This is equivalent to hot-blooded soldiers going to investigate another country's nuclear bombs, and these hot-blooded soldiers actually have the possibility of removing the danger; but in this way, it is too easy to trigger an accidental conflict.

Thus, Xia Duo had one more reason to obtain the original Advanced Permission Level. Only with high permission can one query some information that cannot be obtained now, among which there is a high probability of having the location of the Dragon Madness Mythallar Control Center.

"The road is long and the burden is heavy!"

……

Class 4 classroom.

Compared to the state at the beginning, it can be said that there has been a earth-shaking change here today, worthy of the name of a practice base.

The existence of the Semi-plane expanded the classroom to a hundred or a thousand times its size. The entrance is the location for daily activities and various experimental facilities, and inside is entirely the Mythallar practice area.

Every time after class, the students of Class 4, under Xia Duo's organization, would reproduce the content taught by Tutor Tuto in the practice area, and only then would they conduct discussions, then discover problems and solve problems in practice, and finally complete the progress requirements.

When the discussion reached its end this day, Zuomu suddenly mentioned a rumor he had heard recently: "I heard that the School is preparing to hold a Myth Lock Defense Competition, organized by class. Do you want to participate?"

"When did this happen? How come I haven't heard?" Someone raised a question.

"I know the assistant to Dean Lisi. I heard it from him. It's not just him; others are also spreading it. Maybe it's the higher-ups intentionally letting out the word to warm up for the competition in advance!" Zuomu explained.

"I've also heard it. I heard a student from Class 2 say it when eating in the Canteen before. At that time, seeing them being mysterious, I thought they were deliberately messing with me. Now it seems very likely to be true."

"Maruente, what do you think?"

The question was given to Xia Duo's side, but Xia Duo was a bit hesitant, because participating in the competition would definitely delay the normal course progress. Once other classes did not participate, and they did, even if there were point rewards, the progress would fall behind, and this is not something that a little bit of points can make up for.

Falling behind in professional course progress will affect the application for independent projects, and this is the bulk of obtaining Research Sequence Points during the university stage. But if the competition is really encouraged by the School, not participating is also a troublesome matter.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo still couldn't make up his mind. "It's hard to say now. At least we have to wait until the School confirms it. Another thing is to see if other classes participate. If they all participate, we can only follow along."

This is just like giving gifts; the higher-ups might not remember who gave them, but they definitely have a deep impression of those who didn't. If you don't support the School's work, it will probably be even more difficult when applying for independent project funding later.

"The news should be true. The Dean's assistant shouldn't be able to fabricate it out of thin air." Zuomu emphasized his source of information again, and then said, "Now it's just unclear what the reward situation is. If the rewards are rich, all classes should participate!"

"Has the School organized similar competitions in the past?" Xia Duo asked.

As a de facto freshman, he was indeed not very clear about this, but other students had stayed at Chixin University for more than ten years and should know more than him.

Regarding this, Zuomu immediately said: "Generally speaking, every school has its own characteristic large-scale competitions, coming once every five to ten years. The last inter-school competition of the Mythallar Academy should have been five years ago. At that time, I was still in the General Education Class, and I only heard that there was such a thing; I didn't pay attention to what the specific competition was."

"I know!"

Another student, Aimi'er, immediately spoke up. "Five years ago, I was already preparing to apply for the Mythallar Academy, so I paid more attention to this side. The competition five years ago was to design an Independent Mythallar. I remember the reward for first place was 20 Research Sequence Points."

"20 points?!" Several students exclaimed.

You have to know that they can only get 5 points per semester now, and this is still taking advantage of their status as university students. If it were after graduation, being able to get 1 point for completing a project would be considered very good.

Hearing that the competition five years ago had a 20-point reward, even Xia Duo could not help but feel a bit envious, but he soon calmed down. First place is only 20 points, and the ones behind couldn't all be 20 points, right? Where would that put the first place?

And with the current strength of Class 4, it is almost certain that they cannot get first place. In this situation, it seems that there is indeed no need to participate in this competition. It would be better to participate in the next competition. By then, the senior students will have graduated, and if they work hard again, it is not impossible to go for first place.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo had roughly made a decision. As long as not everyone in the same grade participates, he does not intend to participate. Accompanying the run is really meaningless; it won't be too late to exert effort when the next competition comes.
